Toy mafia & consumer chaos

New Spielwarenmessepodcast

The Podcast will only be available in german.

Have you ever heard of the Plagiarius Award? This award uncovers the most brazen counterfeit products - and this is not the first time that a well-known exhibitor at the Spielwarenmesse has been the victim of such plagiarism! But this is just the beginning. Our colleague Marlene Hösch doesn't miss the opportunity to call in and talk about the New York Toy Fair. This year, there was one central theme that has been a topic of conversation - and we'll tell you what's behind it.

And then there's the big question: how do geopolitical crises actually influence our purchasing behaviour? When supply chains are shaky, commodity prices explode and economic powers vie for influence, this has a direct impact on the toy world - and on everyone's consumer behaviour.

Marco and Selina delve deep into these topics for you and ask the experts. Brazen counterfeits, ground-breaking trends and surprising background information - all packed into just 18 minutes! Grab your headphones, because you don't want to miss this episode.
